It was a super fun Saturday here! Lots of kids, lots of playing, and lots of laughing. One of our very first visitors had a great time with Bernoulli and showed me that he figured out how to get not just a balloon flying, but a ping pong ball too. He was so excited that […]

Threaded rods and washers. That’s it. One of our most popular exhibits for ALL ages is about as simple as can be, just threaded rods with lots of washer mounted onto a board. We call it Zzzrrrmmm… because that is the sound it makes. It is so deceptively simple and yet such a powerful learning […]
